Mailchimp integration
The audience list that keeps itself current.
A customer list that was accurate in March is a bounce rate in October. Connect Mailchimp and the customers who opted in to marketing sync into an audience on their own, so the seasonal campaign goes to the people you actually served rather than to a CSV somebody exported in the spring.

The short answer
What does the Mailchimp integration actually do?
- Where it stands: Beta.
- Which way the data moves: Service VIN → tool.
- Customers sync to a Mailchimp audience
Bottom line: Mailchimp is in beta and it's one-way out: customers sync from Service VIN into a Mailchimp audience and nothing comes back. Worth knowing before you click connect — Mailchimp's OAuth takes no scope parameter, so the grant is all-or-nothing on their side and not something Service VIN can narrow.
Why connect Mailchimp
Keep your audience in step with your customers.
Sync the customers who opted in to marketing into a Mailchimp audience — their email, name and phone — so the seasonal campaign goes to the people you actually served.
Customers sync to an audience
The list is built from the records you already keep rather than from an export somebody remembers to refresh.
Only the customers who said yes
The sync carries a customer across only when they have marketing consent on their record and an email to send to. Consent is a gate in the query, not a checkbox somebody remembers.
It keeps itself current
New customers and changed details travel on the next sync, so the audience stops being a snapshot of whenever the last export ran.

How it works
Setting it up, in order
Connect Mailchimp
Sign in to Mailchimp from the integrations settings. Note that Mailchimp's OAuth doesn't take a scope parameter — the grant covers your account, which is their design rather than ours.
Let the sync build the audience
Consented customers travel across with their email, first and last name and phone. Those are the fields Service VIN writes; anything else you segment on, you build in Mailchimp.
Campaign from Mailchimp
Build and send where you already build and send. The connector's job is making sure the list is right.

FAQ
Mailchimp, answered
Does Service VIN sync with Mailchimp?
Yes, in beta. Customers who have marketing consent and an email sync from Service VIN into a Mailchimp audience, carrying their email, name and phone. It's one-way out — Service VIN writes into Mailchimp and reads nothing back — and it does not push vehicle or service history, so segments beyond those fields are built on the Mailchimp side.
What access does Mailchimp ask for?
More than we'd choose. Mailchimp's OAuth has no scope parameter, so a grant is all-or-nothing on their side and there's no least-privilege version of it to offer you. That's worth knowing before you click connect, which is why it's on this page rather than buried in a support article.
Do unsubscribes come back to Service VIN?
No — this connection is one-way out. Mailchimp holds the subscription state for the campaigns it sends, and Service VIN's own email and texting have their own opt-out handling.
Can I sync only some customers?
On the Mailchimp side, and only on the fields Service VIN sends: email, first and last name, and phone. Vehicle and service history stay in Service VIN — the sync does not carry them — so a ceramic-versus-tint segment is one you build in Mailchimp from your own campaign activity, not one that arrives ready-made.
